The Poultry and Avian Science (PAS) Minor is designed for students who wish to supplement their academic major with studies focused on the biology, management, and diseases of various avian species with an emphasis on domestic fowl.

Requirements

Students are required to complete a minimum of 18 credits, at least
nine of which must be at the 400 level. A grade of C or better must be
obtained in each course in order to complete the minor. The prescribed
courses provide a foundation of knowledge pertaining to both avian
sciences and the commercial poultry industry, while additional courses
selected by the student will allow for further specialization and
expertise in poultry management, poultry evaluation and selection,
ornithology, animal genetics and breeding, nutrition, physiology,
growth and development, products technology, and general animal
pathology
